Unsurprisingly, New Year's Eve broadcasting dominated the ratings on Dec. 31, 2013. ABC's
"Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year with Ryan Seacrest" led the pack, especially later in the evening, although NBC's New Year's coverage did well as well. CBS' reruns garnered a large audience as well.

ABC averaged 4.6 million viewers for the night and had a 3.2 rating/9 share in households. Those CBS repeats followed (4.1 million, 1.2/8). NBC got the third-place spot (3.4 million, 2.1/7), followed by FOX (0.8 million, 0.6/1) and The CW (0.7 million, 0.6/1).

Among 18-49 adults, ABC stayed on top with a 2.6. NBC edged into second place with 1.7, while CBS had only a 0.7, barely beating The CW (0.6) and FOX (0.5).
